Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The multi-tasking Creative Muvo Mix is both a lightweight, easily pocketable digital audio player as well as a USB flash drive, enabling you to store and transport your most important files. While it doesn't offer all the bells and whistles of other digital audio players, the Muvo Mix offers an easy way to enjoy your favorite music while working out, commuting, or just hanging out. It has 512 MB of flash memory storage and playback capability for both MP3 and WMA (but not protected WMA files from online stores or subscription services). The 512 MB memory will store approximately 8 hours of CD-quality MP3 tracks (encoded at 128 kbps) or 16 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps).

Navigate your songs and data files easily with the Muvo Mix's simple, easy-to-use controls. You can listen to ordered playlists, transferred from your PC, or push the dedicated random button for shuffle playback. The Muvo Mix connects to PCs via an ultra-fast USB 2.0 connection, and will easily connect with both Windows and Mac-based computers. It's powered by a single AAA battery, which provides up to 15 hours of continuous usage.

This player is sweet. When all you want is to listen to your favorite music this is the player. Plays music that you choose without any frills. The quality of the sound is superb. Download is a cinch. The size is unbelievable so you can jog or exercise without feeling any straps or bands. Doubles as a disk-on-key so just as easily you can transfer those other files.

This is Creative's attempt to capitalize on the success of Apple's Ipod Shuffle by producing a flash mp3 player with no display. This is basically the original Nomad MuVo, and two years ago when I reviewed that same product I gave it a great review. But that was two years ago, and an mp3 player without a display just doesn't cut it today. If you want a no thrills mp3 player for exercise, buy the original Nomad Muvo, which you can find brand new for about $15. If you're thinking of getting this, go ahead and spend the nominal extra cost to get the Nomad Muvo TX FM, which includes a display for just a few dollars more.

One advantage of this is that it is easy to use. No software is required, just plug in the usb key to a computer and copy your music. You'll have to rename some of your files though to get it to play in the order you want to. Battery life is around 18 hours on 1 AAA battery, which is pretty good.

The iPod Shuffle is successful because of marketing, not because anyone really wants an mp3 player without a display.

I wanted a no nonsense MP3 player to listen to while working outside. This unit stores about 4 hours worth of songs. It is simple, easy to use, and sounds good. It works great for me. Don't get this one if you want anything fancy. This is a bare-bones player.
